Published method
Evidence first.
Uncertainty visible.
Start with authority
Use the current law, commission, parliamentary record or official dataset for the fact it controls.
Restore context
Check the date, denominator, baseline, jurisdiction and missing implementation step.
Apply one standard
Mechanism, authority, cost, delivery, evidence and uncertainty—regardless of party.
Review material change
Queue updates when laws, timetables, boundaries, budgets or source data change.
